Happy Canada Day!

Anyone who knows me knows that I am the biggest advocate for Canada. I love all things Canadian. Yes, I obsess over CBC Radio - not just RadioOne but RadioTwo and RadioThree as well. Stuart Mclean is an icon in my heart. I tell everyone I know to go see the Joshua Jackon film One Week. If you tell me you love music, I'll tell you dozens of Canadian bands that you "just have to listen to" (currently: The Stills, City & Colour, Handsome Furs..). I avoid buying food from other countries when I know that we can grow it here. My photo lab is a two block walk from my studio. When I travel I bring gifts of maple syrup and maple cookies to my hosts. I love the Toronto Football Club. And how can I forget our Canadian wines and beers (loving East Dell Black Cab and Mill Street Tankhouse Ale).

Last week I photographed a very Canadian wedding. It took place at a cottage on a lake in Muskoka. Nienke + Derek were married with their guests seated on the dock and a great Canadian flag blowing in the wind. It was truly magical.

Everyday I feel blessed to have been lucky enough to grow up in such a great country. Happy Canada Day everyone!
